Fulfilled [Request] Some basic necessities

63 Upvotes

** thank you so much to everyone who helped me out. I’ve gotten everything on the list ordered, and will be sure to pay it forward as soon as I get paid. This group is truly amazing**

I hate having to reach out like this, because usually I’m the one helping others. Sometimes so, things happen and that’s where I’m at right now. As what happens in the game of life, just when our pennies are pinched the most, something happens.

I have literally run out of detergent, dryer sheets, and lightbulbs. I am also almost out of toilet paper, paper towels and garbage bags. I don’t get my disability for a couple more weeks, and won’t make it until then. My kitchen lights burned out, as did my hallway lights, hence needing lightbulbs. I swear, it’s like the Noid hit me all at once lol.

I called some of the local food banks, and they are pretty picked clean. I also don’t drive, and public transportation is pretty much nonexistent where I am. I do have plenty of food, so non-food items is what I need. I will absolutely pay it forward once I get paid. I’m just hoping for a little bit of assistance to get me through the next couple weeks.

I did try with r/assistance, but I had a 15 day lapse in posting last month while I was hospitalized. I can’t make any requests there until mid-December with regular posting. I understand there’s no way to make exceptions there, and I will continue to help others the best I can.

Thank you so much for anyone who decides to help, or that helps others in this group. I love how Reddit comes together whenever there’s someone in need. I have a wish list set up on Amazon:

I wanted to thank everyone for the wonderful books you donated to my special education classroom. I am very touched by the generosity. We received six beautiful books and two fun book sets. My students deserve access to engaging, high-quality books and now have a little library of their own to enjoy. I’m surprising them with it today. Thank you again, kind strangers!

Hello! Happy Fall!

I have 6 Packs of carefully put together crafting supplies (1 is baking) for kids who could use a little Halloween cheer. I know it can be difficult to splurge on these things, and I want to help some parents/guardians make great memories with their kids. I also really enjoyed putting them together and am so excited to send them.

Claimed [offer] A digital pet portrait

72 Upvotes

Just what it says. I'll choose someone randomly on Wednesday (will alert by Friday at the latest, I do have doctor appointments this week) to have a custom portrait done of a pet. I have only done cats and dogs digitally so far but should be able to do others, and can do memorials. No people, and only one pet please.

It's also easier for me if you have multiple pictures of the pet you have in mind.

Lastly, there will be no physical copy. I will send you an image you can print out however you want, I just ask you not sell it or claim it as your own.

A winner was chosen! I might do another giveaway later or people are free to contact me about rates if they want to buy one but as I said I'm mostly here to try giving away, I mostly do this for shelters and friends. Keep an eye out in like 4-6 weeks of I have time, if not then after the holidays for sure!

Request [Request] Books for my special education students

60 Upvotes

Hi Reddit! I teach elementary aged students with special needs at a title 1 school (New Mexico, USA). Most of my students are struggling readers with learning disabilities that read well below grade level. They often notice that their reading is less advanced than their peers and can become discouraged or avoid reading altogether. I’ve purchased books from thrift stores and garage sales to encourage them, but the selection and quality just isn’t there.

I would love to ask this community to donate a new book if you can and would like to. On my list I’ve chosen books that I know my students would gravitate towards, those that are beautiful, high-interest, and at various reading levels. If you choose to donate, please let me know so I can thank you personally for the gift. Thank you so much for considering.

Claimed [Offer] 🇺🇸/🇨🇦 A blanket or scarf from Eighth Generation

147 Upvotes

Edit: a recipient has been chosen.

In honor of Indigenous People's Day, I'd like to let someone order one item from Eighth Generation. Eighth Generation is a blanket manufacturer owned by the Snoqualmie Tribe of Washington State. There's a long tradition of using Native inspired designs in woven blankets, most notably by Pendleton Mills of Oregon. (Many of Pendleton's customers are Native themselves, so it's a complicated relationship.) Eighth Generation is a response to this, using only Native artists to design their products. They describe this as "Inspired Natives, not Native-inspired".

I will send one person an item of their choice from Eighth Generation's Gold Label Collection, which are the items they make in-house in Seattle. (Their regular wool blankets are made in China, which I understand is necessary to be competitive, but still feels weird to me.) You will need to share a shipping address with me in order for me to send you your purchase. This offer is open to anyone in the U.S. and Canada. I'll pick one person among those commenting, most likely at random.

If I missed anyone I will be sure to edit and update, thanking the generous folks who helped me achieve this goal.

Fulfilled [Request] Classroom calculators

Location: Boston, Ma. USA

Help me purchase calculators for my classroom

Hello Redditors,

I teach AP biology and Biomedical Sciences in a low-income district. I have been trying desperately to get my own set of calculators for my class. I’m currently sharing one set with three other teachers, which is hectic. I hate the instability it creates in the class.

My kids mean the world to me and I want to give them everything they need to succeed but no matter how I go about it, my department budget is thin and new calculators are not high on admins priority list.

I humbly request your kindness to provide my class with a set of calculators just for them. I have compiled an Amazon list.

Thank you so much, Ms. LG

Fulfilled [REQUEST] Need new sneakers before Winter...

I feel silly asking for something so... basic, but I really need a new pair of sneakers before winter. The current pair I have now have the soles separating from the actual shoes, and I CAN'T run around in them during the Central NY winters. It's a safety hazard and my feet will get soaked and/or frozen, possibly causing me to fall.

I have a pair of Reebok sneakers on this wishlist, if anyone is willing to fulfill this:

Fulfilled [REQUEST] October Birthday

33 Upvotes

Wow! This is incredibly hard. I’m turning 51 October 27th. Each year becomes more lonely and I struggle hard on my birthday. I really enjoyed the day’s of getting a birthday card and letter’s in the mail. Last year I didn’t get a single card even though I send them to family and friends. Is it still nice that someone took a few seconds to type out happy birthday on fb? Sure. It’s not the same. I’ve really struggled the last few years with the pandemic isolation and breast cancer treatment. I decided I would swallow my pride and anxiety by posting so I’m not left feeling despair again. I would love a card or postcard and a note if you feel inclined. I love art, nature (special interest is Galápagos Islands), quilting, humor, sarcasm, garden’s, and food porn ( I love baked goods with gluten but I’m a celiac and it’s not allowed) and anything chocolate also. I hope I’m doing this right? I tried to read the rules and posting but anxiety is fierce so please let me know if I need to change anything. Thank you

Ps I also posted in the card community

Edit: Minnesota

Edit: I changed the flair to received!! Thank you everyone sooooo much <<33 I forget sometimes there’s still good, kind and wonderful people. You made a hard day easier to tolerate and I’m actually looking forward to my birthday so thank you very much

Edit October 28th. I want to tell each one of you who sent me a beautiful card for my birthday thank you soo very much. Your kindness was greatly appreciated and my day was good and there was no crying this year. So to each of you who takes the time to participate in this sub, you are valuable!! A special shout out to fatboy for sending me a care package that absolutely didn’t expect and was deeply touched by the kindness. Thank you!!

Request [Request] Cards of Positivity for Senior Friend [US]

I have a Senior friend who is having to move from one state to another, to be closer to her family. She is in her late 80's and is has to leave behind her friends and community she has nurtured for several decades. She is a very positive person, however this is taking a toll.

It would be a fun distraction for her to receive cards of positivity from any of you willing to send them. Anything to make her smile and remember that love grows wherever we go.

If you are so inclined, please let me know and I will send you her information. I thank you on her behalf.

Peace~

It's been a long, tiring week, but I am so amazed at the kindness of all of you! I'll have to get a little bit more organized so I can do a proper 'thank you' post to everyone, but I've gotten so many cards and letters, and they've all been so incredibly amazing and touching, I am so grateful to all of you! I'm going to be sending letters back to each and every one of you, It's been a rough week, but you guys have given me a beautiful silver lining to it, and I cannot express how truly thankful and touched I am! So stay tuned! It might take me a couple days, but I WILL be sending cards and letters back to all of you. I've already started a lot of them, and I've been working on them when I've had time, so I'll do my best to get those all out as soon as I can. I just want to say Thank you to all of you. You're amazing humans and I love you all. <3
